...doesn't sell. Maybe that's why this isn't more widely broadcast:
"The proportion of people dying in England fell in April to its lowest level since records began"* "figures from the Office for National Statistics show.
"Just 851.2 people per 100,000 died last month – the lowest figure since the ONS started recording mortality rates in 2001. At the height of the first wave of the Covid pandemic last April, death rates were 1,859 per 100,000."
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/0 ... rds-began/ Paywalled** so I quoted the first two paragraphs.
* "Since records began" doesn't carry the same weight when records began just 20 years ago, but I suppose you have to start somewhere.
** (Which is easily bypassed, don't tell anybody)
